St Landrew Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 (edited) Watching the Women's Skeleton event, with loads of GB interest in it, as we are the fastest with Amy Williams, who set a new course record, down the Whistler track. Normally, I wouldn't bother too much, but the Skeleton sledge really appears to move like a rocket ship. The sliders come down the track head first, and the speed looks absolutely enormous. So fast that the cameras sometimes have dificulty keeping up. Good TV. EDIT: F**k me - Amy Williams British Olympic Champion..!

Gigersaint Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Noticed that quite a few, if not most of the skeleton riders clip the same corner too that Nodar Kumaritashvili hit before his tragic accident, that corner is lethal and seems to be almost too narrow coming out of the last bend. Were the other two accidents in the same place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 The Winter Olympics. Letting white people win at sports no one else can afford to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 The Winter Olympics. Letting white people win at sports no one else can afford to learn. That would be because most countries with the correct conditions for winter sports tend to have white indigenous populations. Very few opportunities for downhill skiing or speed skating in the Sudan. And many, if not most, white people can't afford winter sports either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 It's been pretty crap by Norway this year (again). It might be a small country, but EVERYONE here does cross-country skiing, even my two year old daughter is learning and my four year old is takes her skis to nursery, yet they're not winning many medals in that or biathlon. In fact they've done better at downhill skiing which is less popular here. I've never been sure what bothers me most when I go skiing, the 3 year olds powering past me, or the ninety year olds.

Hatch Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 I watched the team sprint relay cross country thing last night, I thought that was terrific. Norway won, beat Jerry in the final straight. I was knackered just watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 Didn`t I see a Nigerian winning a race in the Skicross? There was a Jamaican, cool runnings stylee. Skicross and Snowboard-cross are my new favourite sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was always my experience of skiing. I thought I was tanking it down the piste, only to be overtaken by the ski school snaking past :smt066. The ski-cross looks really exciting, I'm loving the Ice Hockey, and find the curling strangely compelling. There are some hot young ladies involved in that sport.

There is also a female Iranian downhiller. But I suppose they do have some mountains in Iran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwaysaint Posted 24 February, 2010 Share Posted 24 February, 2010 I do a lot of skiing, but in ten years here, I've still never done downhill. I'm sure the kids and pensioners would g zoom past me at that as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
